The Memorex and Imation 700MB discs work just fine in my burner.  The PNY
ones are the only ones I have trouble with, and they say "700MB" on each and
every one of them.

The burn actually finishes, but I get an error when it fixates the disc.
Some kind of end of media error.  In both my acer 12x under linux, and my
sony 4x under winXP.
